We have written this article with several groups of users in mind : those that are familiar with the db2 health monitor center and would benefit from a preview of some of the new features associated with it in db2 v8 . 2 , those who have not yet had a chance to try it out and may be looking for some compelling reasons to migrate to db2 v8 . 1 as the db2 v7 . 2 end - of - service date nears , and those who are interested in learning how autonomic capabilities that ibm has been developing have been implemented in a real product
我们撰写本文时考虑了几种用户的情况：熟悉db2 health monitor center的用户将从对一些db2 “ stinger ”新特性的概述中获益；尚未有机会试用这一工具的用户将会看到，随着db2 v7 . 2服务终结期的来临，有足够吸引人的理由迁移到db2 v8 . 1上来；其他用户如果有兴趣，也可以看看ibm是如何在实际产品中实现自主计算的能力的。
